What is Lesson Study?
Lesson study is a simple idea. If you want to improve instruction , what could be more obvious than collaborating with fellow teachers to plan, observe, and reflect on lessons? While it may be a simple idea, lesson study is a complex process, supported by collaborative goal setting, careful data collection on student learning, and protocols that enable productive discussion of difficult issues. (Catherine Lewis, Lesson Study: A Handbook Teacher-Led Instructional Change, 2002)
A lesson study cycle consists of:
-
Selecting a focus
-
Planning the lesson study
-
Public teaching of the lesson
-
Focused observation of the lesson based on the group's goals
-
Evidence-based debriefing
-
Revision based on the group's reflection
